Abstract

An improved fastener (20) is provided for use in retaining vertebrae in a desired spatial relationship. The fastener has a mounting section (22) with a first external thread (60) to engage a vertebra. The fastener has a retaining section (40) with a second external thread (62) to engage an internal thread on a retaining element, such as a nut. A pair of parallel flats (88, 90) are formed on opposite sides of the retaining section (40). The flats are spaced apart by a distance which is substantially the same as or greater than a root diameter of the external thread (62) on the retaining section (40). A driving recess (130) in an axially outer end of the retaining section (40) has arcuate corner portions which receive force to effect rotation of the fastener (20) relative to a vertebra engaged by the mounting section (22).
